Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Retreating (or surrendering) is a good idea:

  • When defeat is imminent.
  • As a means to travel to a distant town, to be re-recruited there.
  • To preserve artifacts which will otherwise fall into an enemy hero's hands.
  • To preserve a powerful hero with strong stats, spells, or high level.
